Scenarios about 'charles martel'
Charles Martel was a Frankish military leader who served as Mayor of the Palace for the Merovingian kings in the early 8th century. He is best known for his victory at the Battle of Tours in 732, which halted Islamic expansion into Western Europe, and for establishing the Carolingian dynasty that would later include Charlemagne. In alternate history scenarios, his defeat or absence could dramatically alter European political development and religious composition, potentially leading to an Islamic Western Europe.
